Hi I would like to ask for advice on the breed of blueberry to plant. I would like to start a growing blueberry in the mountains at 1200 meters high, with cold winters and sometimes snowy. What kind of blueberry do you recommend?
Any lowbush variety will do well in these conditions. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/blueberries/varieties-of-blueberry.htm
I'm looking for varieties of blueberry that produce a deep blue hue rather than a reddish or maroon type hue. Any pointers? Thank you,

I love blueberries, and every year around spring time a local hardware store sells blueberry, cherry, and grape bushes. I want to know if I purchase one will it be worth planting, and getting any berries?? in my home state of Texas? I live in the southern area.
You have to be very selective about blueberry varieties. All but just a handful of types will die in your area.

I have a blueberry plant/bush called "Jewel". Know that it needs another plant to pollinate. What should I purchase? Thank you for your help. Jean jdrozesewing@aol.com
This will be completely up to you! It does not matter when it comes to blueberries. They will all cross-pollinate just fine. Just pick a variety that will do well in your area. Even the same plant will be fine, but it is best to choose a different variety to ensure proper pollination.
